Hi there! Today I’m sharing an update on our clawfoot tub shower curtain liner idea. If you’ve been following along for a while now you know that we have a clawfoot tub as our primary shower. So, I’ve written several posts chronicling how we’re making that work. One of the first ones I did was about our shower curtain liner.

Today I’m sharing how to easily switch out that old outlet or light switch. You know the one I’m talking about. It looks old and yellowed when in fact it’s just “almond.” A color that really shouldn’t be in existence any more. Or maybe it has paint on it because it wasn’t protected during the last redesign, or perhaps it’s chipped, or the plate doesn’t even really fit and it wiggles threatening to fall off with each plug and unplug. Whatever the reason – just replace it. I’m telling you, you won’t believe the difference it makes. And it feels that much better knowing you did it yourself. So, I’m sharing the how-to instructions and of course if you’re still not comfortable your local handyman should be able to do it in snap.

Hi friends, today I’m sharing another DIY for your clawfoot tub. Did you know that my posts about our clawfoot tub are some of my most popular? I think everyone who has to use them for showering is just as confused about where to start as I was! So if you’re one of those people, this one’s for you! And you’re going to love it because it’s so simple - I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that. (Plus, you might want to check out this one, this one, and this one.)

Happy Monday, Friends! Today I have another update on our upstairs bathroom. It’s getting so close to being finished I can’t even wait!So, there was a little drama with these hooks before they even arrived. You see I accidentally ordered them to my old address. IN SAN FRANCISCO. After lots of phone calls and emails to friends in the city, a message to our old landlord, and an awesome customer service experience our old order was cancelled and refunded and we reordered the hooks to the correct address. Moral of the story? Anthropologie stores a default address for your online orders. Be sure that it’s the right one (it doesn’t matter if you’ve ordered things to your new address before, you know, say, the night before 🙈).

Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? Mine was great, we got lots of stuff done around the house, and didn’t have too many plans, which I always enjoy.One thing we did a lot of was talking about and planning the new kitchen. If you’re interested in what’s been happening up until now you can find that post here. This weekend we used the Virtual Reality equipment at Xan’s office to walk through each of our 3 schemes. It sounds kind of weird and techy, but it actually helped so much. We both went in thinking we liked one scheme in particular and were pretty sure that was it, and ended up leaving feeling the complete opposite.

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I’m sharing a project that you might want to add to your weekend to do list. And that’s how to fix an outlet that’s been recessed in tile. It’s an easy project that makes a big impact – the best kind if you ask me!
